The Brigham President, historically, has always been a hand made pipe. As such, their manufacturing was overseen and applied hands-on by Herb Brigham himself. Since Mr. B’s passing this responsibility has been entrusted to only the most skilled craftspeople maintaining the same high standards Mr. B insisted on when making these pipes himself. It is through this series that we keep a Brigham tradition moving forward.

100 years is a long time, but it has allowed us to perfect our craft and offer some of the best pipes in the world today.

Each filter is made by hollowing out the inside diameter of a 3.5” Rock Maple dowel and pressure-fitting a special metal cap to its end which helps the filter fit snugly inside the pipe while making removal simple. The manufacturing process of the filter uses no chemicals or adhesives to guarantee a taste-neutral system.

It all started in 1906 with a small pipe repair shop in Toronto, Canada owned an operated by our founder Roy Brigham. Mr. B’s pipe repair service garnered such high demand that within 10 years he was manufacturing his own pipes with a blend of quality, workmanship and value never seen before on Canadian shores. By 1935 his son Herb joined the business and as they say – the rest is history.
